2008/06/12 | Source | Permalink |

Former H.O.T. member Kang Ta and rapper/actor Yang Dong-geun will star in a musical celebrating the 60th anniversary of Korean military. The two singers have started their military duty in April and May, respectively.

The 60th anniversary musical is overseen by the Ministry of National Defense and produced by noted musical producers and staff members. The production team selected Kang Ta in a military-wide audition. The Defense Ministry insiders said that over 300 soldiers showed up for the audition and the final 35 were selected for various parts. However, it has not been decided which roles these star wannabes and Kang Ta will play.

On the other hand, Yang was not able to attend the audition because of his training, but he was included in the cast after he informed the producer that he wanted to take part in the musical as well. Yang has not been assigned a role, either. A production team member said the female lead will probably be played by a musical actress or a singer.

In 1992, she received the 'Child Actor Award' from KBS, received the 'Youth Award' in 1998, and received much love for her smart acting. Her official change to adult acting came in 2005 with the drama "Fashion 70s" and in 2006 with the movie "Forbidden Quest".
